Bob, I'm from here so I don't take winter too personally, I like how cozy the boat is this time of year. A glowing fire and a hot scotch make for a good evening. But I admit by Feb I'm sick of it all. This year has been darn cold * but NOT down below! I lived down south for years (New Orleans) but never found the boating scene (yachting life?) palatable in southern climes. Not very salty or laid back. I don;t mean to raise hackles, this is just my experience and it's limited. I'd like to find a nice spot in the south. But I don't like a lot of other boats around me and I can't stand the modern world (developments, shopping malls etc,,) Where are the cool places to live aboard in warmer climes? I'm sure there are some great ones somewhere. I love the south but not Jacksonville or Atlanta. I'd rather have my arse froze to my bunk in a seamanlike town with low key people around than be in tee shirt weather surrounded by yachty types! I'm from Cape Cod originally and I even get the hives when I sail down there (at times). My inclination is in the other direction, Nova Scotia. Friendly, less rules and cops! OK I'm a contrarian and a kermudgeon! caleb On Mar 3, 2008, at 7:17 PM, Bob Johnson wrote: My solution (I'm from China, ME) was to get south for the winter. From what I hear this year you will have to pick the 6 hrs between snow storms ;.) Bob J. Peace PDQ 36 LRC Can I also ask any tips on sailing this time of year. We will just go out on the bay near land but will anchor out (weather permitting). I plan to tow an inflatable with ditch bag with GPS and VHF. Wear PFD on deck and be very careful. But in general, any "watch outs" to consider?? many thanks seafolk, Caleb Crosby Thompson Wharf Belfast Maine _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html No virus found in this incoming message.
